Crashing the A-List

By: Summer Heacock

Narrated by: Stacey Glemboski

After four months of unemployment, former book editor Clara Montgomery is still stuck sleeping on her little brother's ugly couch in Queens. Determined to keep her minuscule savings account intact, she takes a job clearing out abandoned storage units, but is in no way prepared for stumbling upon dead snakes or trying to identify exactly where the perpetual stench of beets is emanating from.

When Clara comes across a unit that was once owned by an escort service, she finds the brothel "resume" of a younger Caspian Tiddleswich...an astonishingly famous British actor. Her best friend thinks she should sell the gossip to a tabloid to fund her way off the couch from hell, but Clara instead manages to track down Caspian's contact info, intending to reassure him that her lips are sealed.

Unfortunately, Caspian misinterprets Clara's attempt at altruism and shows up on her doorstep, accusing her of blackmail. When the paparazzi capture a photo of them together, Caspian's PR team sees an opportunity to promote his latest film - and if Clara wants to atone for her "crimes", she'll have to play along. Pretending to be Caspian's girlfriend seems like it will be a tolerable, if somewhat daunting, penance...until their fake romance becomes something more than either of them expected.

Great story, but

It’s a great story but because it goes on and on with the blackmail, it gets you so mad that she didn’t stick up for herself. It makes you just want to shake the heroine.

Couldn’t stop listening

Such a great story. I couldn’t stop listening. A very easy listen that was easy to follow.

Too long

Too long. Got bored. Skipped to the end. It is not a bad book. Hate the guys name so much.

Borderline abusive relationship

While the performance was good, this book basically tries to justify a borderline emotionally abusive situation with a happy ending

Good Romcom

Good read starts slow but picks up. I could really feel the emotions in the narration.
